I don't recall ever being legitimately scared for my life while staying in a hotel, until we stayed here. There are numerous meth-heads living in the building and there was constant shouting and screaming inside and out. Lets just say the cops are frequent visitors. And there is absolutely no surveillance for the parking garage and some crazy guy was wondering around looking into the cars when we pulled in. We felt completely uncomfortable the entire time and nervous about leaving our room.
The only positive thing I can say is that the young lady at the desk was very friendly and helpful with answering our questions. She seemed very out of place.
Still, Not worth the money, not even if it were free.

We stayed on arrival in July, then again after touring the states in September. They even stored our suitcases for all that time.
Great staff. Cannot fault this hotel. Even have airport pick up and drop off.

You've been warned. We initially picked this hotel because we were moving to Portland and needed a place to stay with our two cats for an extended period of time. The rate was so cheap, cheaper than our previous rent actually, and that should have been a warning sign. It felt like a lot of people were living in the hotel rather than merely staying there. The first strike against the place was when the US marshals came and arrested 2 fugitives. I thought to myself, don't be too judgmental, it could happen anywhere makes for a good story. The second strike was when I overheard the hotel staff firmly warning a hotel guest that they shouldn't do illegal drugs at the hotel and that it wasn't safe. I thought to myself, well it is Portland and who knows if they are talking meth or merely pot. But the third strike was when our two loads of laundry were stolen out of the dryer as they were drying! When we reported it to the hotel staff they were nice enough about it, but sort of sighed in frustration as if to say not again. They said they would review the security tapes and if a "tenant" stole the clothes then they would kick them out but said there was nothing else they could do. We were basically left with the clothes we had on. The money we saved on the hotel we ended up spending on a new wardrobe. The tacky outdated decor, the uncomfortable bed, no dishes in a kitchenette, and that strange smell, I can all look past for cost. But when it comes to my safety, I must draw the line. All three of these incidents sent us searching for another hotel. Who knows what all would have happened if I stayed another week?

My friend chose this place based on the low price and the list of amenities. On the plus side, the room was spacious. The lobby appears to have been recently remodeled. Beyond that, there is nothing good to say. My friend had a room for the first night with no hot water. After I joined her we had another room, but the toilet just barely flushed and eventually stopped working. We used the bathrooms in the lobby. The free breakfast consisted of toast and frozen/thawed waffles. It is located in a run-down area.
